Why do we like it?
For the Huis-Clos, the Chenin Blanc’s vines are about 85 years old, with yields of 25 hectoliters per hectare, which is very small and help with the concentration and level of complexity of the wine. It shows a very refined nose, with lot of quince, pear and almond. The texture is silky, we can sense the power of the wine but at the same time, a clear elegance and mineral component comes out of the wine. Simply superb, it’s a wine you can age for another 10 years
